Rangers winger Vaclav Cerny may be facing disciplinary action after an incident at Celtic Park during Sunday’s match. The Czech international celebrated Hamza Igamane’s late winner by sprinting down the touchline towards the Rangers supporters. However, as he ran past the Celtic fans in the main stand, he sprayed water from his bottle in their direction, which has since sparked controversy.
Following the match, Scottish police launched an investigation into the incident, and the Scottish Football Association (SFA) is now reportedly considering action against Cerny. According to RecordSport, the 27-year-old could face a suspension ranging from two to eight games under SFA regulations. This potential ban would be a significant blow for Rangers as they enter a crucial stage of the season.
Adding to the controversy, Rangers defender Dujon Sterling has also come under scrutiny for his post-match actions. After his team’s dramatic 3-2 victory, Sterling took to Instagram and made a derogatory remark about Celtic Park. His social media post has raised concerns that he, too, could face disciplinary measures.
Despite these incidents, both Rangers and Celtic are unlikely to face sanctions for their supporters’ actions. Rangers fans were seen using pyrotechnics in the away section, a practice that has drawn criticism from the SPFL in previous matches. However, no further penalties for either club have been reported at this time.
As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen what disciplinary action, if any, will be taken against Cerny and Sterling. Rangers will be closely monitoring the situation, knowing that any potential bans could impact their squad depth and upcoming fixtures.
